Rosslyn Chapel

So I said yesterday that I had gotten my photos back last week, and now that I have a bit of time off again, I was able to get them scanned in and uploaded. I am really proud of some of the shots, it was a lot of fun shooting basically a whole roll in one go. I am really enjoying 35mm film, because you only have 24 -36 or so shots to take so you want to make them count, but its more than the 12-16 you get out of 120 film which gives you so much more to play with. Plus my Pentax K1000 is awesome. I am loving the quality I am getting when its all focused up right.

So about Rosslyn Chapel, you may have noticed sometimes I have said I went out to Roslin, and sometimes I say Rosslyn Chapel, which is a bit confusing, but Roslin is the town and Rosslyn Chapel is the chapel. Make sense right? I think the Scottish do these things just to confuse you.

We totally lucked out on a sunny day going out, and even though it was a bit cold, it was lovely clear crisp day. You aren't allowed to take photos inside the church so that is why you are getting loads of outdoor photos, but the outside is just as impressive as the inside so that was ok. I was going to do a bit of quality control, but I wanna take the fuzzy with the crisp, so you get to see every single shot! Enjoy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We weren't allowed photos inside as I said, but I bought a postcard, so here is the main body of the chapel, its amazing.

On the weekend after Roslin, Daniel and I went to the Royal Botanic Gardens and I mostly took photos with my phone, but I had a couple shots left on my roll so I took a few of the Victorian greenhouse and the Koi inside.

I was saving my very last shot for the giant lilypads in the greenhouse, but unfortuantely the Scottish winter doesn't give them enough sun to keep them going through into February and March and they won't be back until May, but there is the Field of Light in St Andrews Square, and that was a pretty cool last shot.
